The oil keeps disappearing in the car I fill it with 7 Quartz of oil and two months or less it’s all gone I heard there was a issue with this before but no recall my engine almost blew two weeks after a oil change I thought that’s wrong I have oil so I had it reset then three months later my engine was ticking so I took it in and there was no oil they put 7 more quartz of oil and no again it’s all gone I had more put back in and I think this should be a recall I called the dealer and they said they won’t do anything unless I pay for it to be fixed but it’s been a known issue for years and they don’t do nothing about it I am a young person that doesn’t have $3,000 to pay to fix this issue I believe Chevy should.

The first problem was the cluster , it completely went off . I took it to a mechanic he said he fixed it . It works for one day then completely shut off again, I can not see what gear I am in , any alert that I need to see for warning and saftey completely off in the cluster . . Shortly after the first issue I noticed 2 cracks on my dashboard ,on both driver and passenger side of the vehicle . I had not put a lot of thought into that as it didn’t seem like a safety concern up until I’ve read several post of others with same issue . ( I’m guessing a fire should be expected anytime because of others stories I have read off here the cracks have lead to fires ) Another issue is I have to add quart oil to my Tahoe atleast every 2 -3 weeks . I’ve taken it to have that fixed and each time was told there is no leak . I get the works done each oil change and still have to add oil 2 weeks after a new air filter oil etc .. a major issue that could have been a major wreck was While driving down a highway around 11 pm .. my car started flickering lights inside and outside of my tahoe and it started making a loud click sound saying system is shutting down ,my steering wheel locked up and all power to vehicle completely shut down .period . No power to anything at all what so ever . The battery was fairly new . Well We had it towed back to town for a mechanic to look at the next day … he replaced the alternator and checked everything . Said he couldn’t see anythjng and told me I should sale it right away He warned me of a lot of issues he keeps seeing with Tahoe . Well now my driver door will not open at all I have to crawl through the passenger side door to get in and out of my car . With all these serious issues still going on I m very scared to be in my car , not getting my alerts and being trapped inside . Please someone point me in the right direction I have 5 kids this is not safe !

The o2 sensor can lose from its housing. I had never done any repairs to this o2 sensor. Which it is located at position bank 1 sensor 2. The sensor connection came lose from where it is held on to the frame. It caused the wiring to get slack and wrap around the drive shaft. This happened as I was driving home from work. I started to hear a noise coming from the vehicle. As I looked underneath the SUV I seen the o2 sensor was caught on the shaft. I thought it was just a once time incident that had occurred to me. But as I went to the salvage yard to get a harness. They told me this was a common issue on these model trucks.

The number 1 cylinder keeps fouling out spark plugs. I have changed plugs, wires, and the coil pack. This fixes the problem for about 5 miles. It runs poorly, low idle, the stability trac comes on and says it is malfunctioning and needs to be serviced

My issues started almost two years ago when dropping my child off at daycare. I was on the highway and noticed a loud ticking noise coming from the engine. At first I was not sure what it was until I pulled in the daycare and it was evident something was wrong. At that point the stablitrak and traction control light started flashing. I had to have the vehicle towed because I tried to move it and when I put it in gear it jerked so hard I was scared the engine blew. I took it to the certified chevy mechanic, cylinder 6 misfire. We replaced the plugs, coil packs etc, trying to see what the issue could be. He finally replaced all 16 lifters, cam, head gaskets and oil pump as well. Once he got it together, it was still a misfire on cylinder 6. He took it apart to look at the pistons, they were fine. The top of the motor he practically everything brand new on it. The chevy dealership are aware of the lifter issues with this vehicle and blatantly told me, I need a new engine or could purchase a new vehicle. Still no resolve as of june 23, 2020! Please issue a recall on this as so many of these vehicles have this issue and it's not fair to us that they designed the engine so poorly.

I have been dealing with the same problem as the previous complaint...ironically, my vehicle was manufactured in tx too, but, I purchased it used in va in 2011 odometer-73,625. To date, I only have 101,225- I started having constant stabilitrack/traction control issues right after 100,000- caused steering wheel to lock up and loss of power in addition to door locks suddenly locking/unlocking, car alarm going off, and hazard blinkers not working (all while in the middle of rush hour traffic)! After this constant issue was "repaired"-for 6th time, a few months later, I experienced a different problem. After waiting at a stop light, the vehicle would not accelerate-I had to push gas all the way to the floor, barely reaching 20mph, then, the car started shaking & to make matters worse, the brakes were barely working. Thankfully, I was near a parking lot & was able to pull over. This time I think it is a bcm or pcs issue. It seems the "flex-fuel" 4wd 2007 tahoes are having major issues. This should be constitute under lemon law. I am too scared to drive now-the car has been sitting in my driveway for a long time, yet I have to pay insurance & registration. I'm sick of wasting money as well. Please help us (2007 tahoe owners), fix these issues! Thank you.

Sometimes the stable track system comes on and goes off causing the transmission and carter jerk and steer poorly too many complaints about this needs to be taken care of
